Gray
Stuck inside this empty box
Hours never end on broken clocks
Stuck am I, never to return again
Look and find what’s left to remain
I’ve given it all, I’ve given it up
Beggin’ on the sideways streets screamin’ for someone to fill my cup
Ready to die because I haven’t lived
Sleep in comfort with a sharpened shiv
This is the life God knew was for me
But I believe in the Devil and the fault laid with he
Who am I to blame?
Carrying on this life of shame
Broken bottles and dirty needles are my bed
Surviving on the shattered dreams inside my head
No one know sadness ‘til they saw my face
A reflection in the dirty puddle of scum and disgrace
